Daughter of a go-go dancer and a blues musician, Christian has a highly theatrical sense of musicality. She whispers and coos, screams and gurgles, pulling both from classical form and good old fashioned feeling. Christian is a core member of Witness Relocation Co. (WRC) and performed in their production of Dancing vs. The Rat Experiment ("Magnificent" ~ The New Yorker) at La MaMa, which won 3 NY Innovative Theater Awards including Best Performance Art Piece and Best Choreography. She's performed with Annie-B Parson's Big Dance Theater at Dance Theater Workshop in The Other Here ("A talented group" ~ TimeOut NY, "Deeply brilliant" ~ NY Times, "Daring, funny, smart and unexpectedly moving" ~ Washington Post), at The Ohio with WRC in In A Hall in the Palace of Pyrrhus and at The Flea in Len Jenkin's Margo Veil. Christian is a recent graduate of NYU's Experimental Theatre Wing.
